Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable and executable instructions are provided for providing a universal access device. Providing a universal access device can include storing access data for each of a number RFID readers, wherein each of the RFID readers accepts a particular RFID protocol. Providing a universal access device can also include selecting a particular RFID protocol for one of the number of RFID readers while the universal access device is within an activation zone of the RFID reader. Furthermore, providing a universal access device can include providing the access data for the particular RFID reader via the particular RFID protocol.
Claims20
A method for providing a universal access device, comprising:
- utilizing a processor to execute instructions located on a non-transitory medium for:
- storing access data for each of a number of RFID readers at a number of RFID reader locations, wherein each of the RFID readers accepts a particular RFID protocol;
- selecting a particular RFID protocol for one of the number of RFID readers while the universal access device is within an activation zone of at least one of the number of RFID readers;
- providing a list of RFID reader locations that match the particular RFID protocol;
- and
- selecting a particular RFID reader location from the list of RFID reader locations;
- and
- providing the access data for a particular RFID reader at the particular RFID reader location via the particular RFID protocol.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions executable by a processor to cause a computer to:
- select an RFID reader protocol type;
- determine a number of RFID reader locations based on the determined RFID reader protocol type;
- determine acceptable access data based on the RFID protocol type and the number of RFID locations;
- and
- transmit the acceptable access data to an RFID reader with the RFID reader protocol type.
A system for providing a universal access device, the system comprising a processing resource in communication with a non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium includes a set of instructions and wherein the processing resource is designed to carry out the set of instructions to:
- store a number of user identified RFID reader locations, wherein each location has corresponding access data;
- determine a RFID protocol for a particular RFID reader location;
- display a list of user identified RFID reader locations that match the RFID protocol for the particular RFID reader location;
- enable a user to select one of the identified RFID reader locations;
- and
- transfer the corresponding access data for the selected RFID reader location using the determined RFID protocol for the particular RFID reader location.
